I seem to recall Right-wing conspiracy theorists (I suppose mostly Tea Party types) constantly fixating over Mr. Obama's supposed violations of the Constitution and rule of law and making predictions of his impeachment. And we see how that turned out...

The difference being that Obama's only crime was being a black man. Trump gives us a menu to choose from. Obstruction of justice seems strongest, but there is more coming down the pike. It takes tie to build a case. The people who thought this would be fast really don't understand the mechanics of the process. I honestly thought he would quit, but impeachment seems more likely. But, you're right, we will have to see what happens and how it unfolds.

Your side says Mr. Obama committed no crime and President Trump has committed many. The other side says Mr. Obama committed many crimes and President Trump none. Both are biases. I see no reason to just take anyone's word for it.

And these perceptions (regardless of what is true) are more consequential than you seem to be suggesting.

The difference being, only one of these "biases" is currently under congressional and Justice Department investigation.

The DOJ and the FBI has been and continues to be corrupt. The law has not been and is not applied equally. Hillary was blatantly guilty of transmitting classified docs and Obama. Lynch and Comey all circled the wagons to protect her from the consequences of breaking the law. She got a pass. Now, cue the spin.

No need, you've taken care of it.

She's not.

See folks, liberals don't have a problem with crime and corruption; liberals have a problem with YOUR crime and corruption. As long as there's a "D" by their name, regressives like Industrialsize will look past anything and I mean ANYTHING.

According to 11 investigations , most if not all headed by Republicans she did not. Did she show bad judgement? Yes. Did she break regulations that no one minded when Gen. Powell broke them? Yes she did. Criminal? Not in this world. Glad I could answer your question.

What crimes do you think Obama might have committed? Why, when the GOP launched many investigations of Secretary Clinton did they not demand a special prosecutor to pursue Obama's crimes? Why did they not hold hearings about Obama's crimes? Perhaps - and I'm reaching here - perhaps there were no crimes?

Comey said Hillary didn't intend to break the law. That was the justification for letting lying, crooked Hillary skate.
